The club started taking a lot of horlicks regarding the likes of Adeyemi and Ward so I decided to add my own off the wall comment about bringing in Marquis in exchange for Newell and some cash.
Bog snorkelling went well. It was cold, wet, fun and not for the fainthearted though I think I'll stick to mountain climbing in Suffolk.

UTBS!

Warney will give them as long as it takes. He is mates with all of the players. They might even be in next season's squad. He never can say, 'Goodbye'.


COYR!

Newell is officially leaving - will not be renewing his contract. I'm more frustrated than disappointed that he's going. Frustrated because he has so much ability but rarely seemed that interested in using it. The Championship was a step too far for him. He found defenders much more difficult to get around and he appeared to lose his confidence resulting in him rarely trying to beat a man. My best memory of him is reflected in the photograph on the official site after he'd just scored against Scunny in the play-off semi. Good luck to him. He'll need to pull his finger out wherever he ends up.

Yep. Some great games but overall perhaps not too disappointing that he has moved on. We saw the best of him and it wasn't consistent and perhaps we can replace him.

All in all enjoyed watching him but for his rather laboured chasing.

When I pay my money to watch football I like to see players doing things that I (someone who played to a half-decent non-league standard but was never good enough to get near professional football) could never do. Joe Newell is a player who can produce that bit of magic, skill or technique or whatever it might be that ticks that box. For that reason I am sort of sad that he is leaving, but I think my overriding feeling is a bit like GlennMiller's, which is a sense of frustration that he can't quite deliver more consistently and realise his obvious potential. He has delivered some great moments and I hope he does really well wherever he goes, but it is probably the right time for him to move on and the right time for us to have a go with some fresh blood.

If the money is right thats all its about really.

but, he does get to be in a less competitive league all season so will help his stamina and injury profile.

Will suit Newell he's not up for the battle.

I'd give Newell 3 out of 10 while he's been here. Pringle before him 6 out 10. Williams 5 out of 10. Taylor 4 out of 10. Forde 2 out of 10.

I take it you're joking Ian. He is bound to say nice things about his new employer. I wouldn't take that as criticism of us. It is a bigger city, they do get bigger crowds and have a bigger stadium. They were presumably prepared to offer him more money than we thought he was worth. No hard feelings and good luck. I will be interested to see how he gets on. The standard of football is no better than lower Championship quality unless Celtic are involved. It is an interesting move for him and I can see why he would go there.
